It’s April 15th – tax day. It was also Patriot Day in Boston, commemorating the start of the American Revolution. The symbolism is obvious. I would bet good money that this was right wing domestic terrorism – probably an angry, middle aged ultra-conservative white guy who thinks Obama is an African-born Muslim. You can be sure the bomber has a shelf full of Glen Beck books and only listens to AM radio. You can be sure he is a proud NRA member and probably a doomsday prepper as well. Thanks right wingers for creating a climate of hate and extremism. How do you sleep at night?
Yes, I am purely speculating. Yes, it is wildly irresponsible. Yes, it is perhaps insensitive. But I am fed up with the culture of right wing hate that spews 24/7 from radios, cable news, “think tanks,” and this very website. You can’t devote all your time to demonizing liberals and calling for revolution and then act all surprised when one of your followers actually acts on the hateful rhetoric.
Chosen Answer:
You know, liberals are supposed to be smarter than conservatives, right? They’re supposed to form their opinions based on evidence, and believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. They’re supposed to be patient enough not to jump to conclusions. They’re the kinds that advocate letting the system work. They’re supposed to not be the kind that engage in idle, and even harmful, speculation, or exhibit conspiracy-oriented paranoia.
So what happened to you?
